## About the Session

As your business grows, so do the complexities of managing people, processes, and compliance. Many entrepreneurs wait too long to think about HR — and by the time they do, they’re already reacting instead of planning.
In this session, Donna Giarratana will break down what small business owners really need to know about HR — in a way that is clear, actionable, and relevant to your stage of growth.
This conversation is designed to help you move from uncertainty to confidence when it comes to building and managing your team.
